i once worked for a miata only shop. we brought on a new guy to do maintenance work and as he got into his first miata to test drive it he says "i dont think i could own one of these.. too small, etc..." 5 min later he gets back and first words getting out of the car was, "my next car is going to be a miata". 4 months later he owned a 93 that he swapped a 04 mazdaspeed engine into. miatas are a very special car, proud to own my special little piece of the miata world

@@MrCow579 I just bought my Miata, a pretty red ‘99 model. I drive big trucks for a living, so it’s very refreshing to tool around in the Miata where everything is small and/or lightweight. I’m pretty tall, so wasn’t sure it was going to work for me, but I’ve made it work!

I have heard the term "Girly car " or "Hair dressers car" , DRIVE ONE You might just change your mind.... I leave my friends 911 & so many other performance cars in my mirrors often... Around the world , there are so many proud MX-5 owners & Racers....If the rest took one for a good ride , there would be MANY MANY more owner's...I Have driven , owned & professionally raced more cars than I care to remember , But I'm a Proud NA8 owner for life ! Also , P.S. The best MX-5 Perfomance modification you could ever make to your car , Is the DRIVER ... " ENJOY YOUR TOY " Life is short & Fragile Thanks

Thanks for sharing the nice video. My eyes wide open to see so many MX-5 enthusiast in UK. That's Awesome! I lived in Orange County, Southern California. Enjoyed driving my 2016 MX-5 mk3, due to my wife doesn't drive manual gear box. Mine is automatic. Uh.. I know.. Can you tell me if I could modified my motor like yours?(super charged or turbo). So far, I had ibach springs, sway bars, reinforced brace bracket under the chassis, tokico adjustable shocks. Do I need to upgrade my transmission(heavy duty one)? Please let me know..(ie., after market company)

NB's were available in 110hp 1.6 for Euro and Japan market. It's actually the carryover engine from NA with some subtle updates. Some say it's underpowered but it loves to rev out and is smoother compared to 1.8. It's also taxed a lot less (1.8 is considered 1.9 in EU since it is 1840cc)
